FIRST LOOK: The Fall Crossover Continues With The Crimson Shadow

The Fall, the new Star Trek miniseries from Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books, will continue in late September with the release of The Crimson Shadow. Here’s a synopsis of installment number two in The Next Generation/Deep Space Nine crossover, direct from Simon & Schuster:"Cardassia Prime is home to a prideful people who, for centuries, forged alliances with those they believed would strengthen them and their place in the Alpha Quadrant, and expanded their empire at great cost to other worlds.

Enterprise-E is tasked to carry the Cardassian ambassador to the Federation back home. For his part, Ambassador Elim Garak is working with Captain Jean-Luc Picard to oversee the diplomatic reception that will commemorate the last of Starfleet’s personnel finally leaving the homeworld. However, there are malevolent forces at work, who even now strive to “restore Cardassia to its proper place and glory,” and are willing to do anything to achieve their goal..."Star Trek: The Fall: The Crimson Shadow runs 352 pages and, starting September 24, it will be available in the mass market paperback and eBook formats for $7.99.
